Tarzan and Jane decide to adopt the baby. They give him the name "Boy." They raise him in the jungle, teaching him how to live among the wild animals.
Five years later, a group of people comes into the jungle. They are searching for Boy. It turns out Boy is the heir to a huge fortune worth millions of dollars.
